balance and keep it at hand for future reference.
□ The balance can detect impact applied to its mass sensor and display the level of that impact.
ISD (Impact Shock Detection).
□ Continuous change of the balance can be calculated as flow rate, displayed and output. FRD : ( Flow Rate
Display).
□ The balance is equipped with a data memory function, which can record weighing value, calibration
result, and multiple unit mass (mass per sample in counting mode) (Up to 200 items are stored for
weighing value).
□ The GX-AE/GX-A series has automatic self calibration using the internal mass, adapting to
temperature changes, setting time and interval time.
□ Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) / Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) data can be output using
the RS-232C serial interface when making the sensitivity adjustment or sensitivity calibration
adjustment. It is possible to record the results using an optional printer.
□ A built-in clock and calendar that can add the time and date to the output data.
(Setting and changing of the time can be limited to only an administrator by using the password
lock function.)

□ For the GX-AE/GX-A series, a weight for sensitivity adjustment is built in. It is possible to use
functions such as calibration and auto calibration using the internal mass.
□ For the GF-A series, sensitivity adjustment weights are not built-in. When calibrating, it is
necessary to prepare an external weight.

1-3 About The GX-AE Series


□ An ionizer (static eliminator), which causes no breeze, is built into the breeze break. The ionizer
can eliminate static electricity from the weighing sample before weighing, reducing error due to
static electricity. (Static is eliminated by bipolar ions generated by direct-current corona discharge
being projected onto the sample.)
□ The ionizer electrodes are designed to be removed for cleaning and replacement.
□ An IR (touchless) switch is attached to the ionizer, and static elimination can be started without
touching ionizer.
□ Power is supplied from the balance to allow the ionizer to be operated without using an AC adapter.
□ PRINT or RE-ZERO or the static elimination function of the ionizer can be operated by using the
optional foot switch (AX-SW137-PRINT or AX-SW137-REZERO).
□ A removable glass breeze break is equipped as standard.
□ As an option board is installed, so other options (GXA-03/04/06/09/17/23/24/25/26, FXi-08, etc.)
cannot be used.
□ For instructions on using the ionizer and IR switch, download the instruction manual for "GXA-17
Large Glass Breeze Break with Ionizer" from our website (https://www.aandd.jp) and refer to it.
Static electricity
In general, when the ambient humidity is less than 45%RH, nonconductors such as powders, paper,
and plastics easily become charged with static electricity. The influence of static electricity may
cause a weighing error of several milligrams. The ionizer neutralizes this electrical charge.

2-3 During Use


To acquire accurate weighing data, note the following:
□ Discharge static electricity from the material to be weighed. When The Charged
a sample could have a static charge, the weighing data is sample
influenced. If the ambient humidity becomes 45% or less,
insulators such as plastics are liable to become static electricity. Metal case
Ground the balance and try the following.
An anti-static treatment has been applied to the breeze break
components.
Eliminate the static electricity by GXA-25, AD-1683 as an accessory.
Or try to keep highly the ambient humidity
Or use a metal shield case. Ground
Or wipe a charged plastic sample with the wet cloth.
□ The breeze break (0.001g models only) and the clear main unit
cover are provided as accessories. The breeze break
components may be charged with static electricity when they are
unpacked or when the humidity is low. If the weighing value is
unstable or the balance has a problem with repeatability, remove
the breeze break. Or wipe the clear plates with a moistened cloth,
use an accessory DC static eliminator, GXA-25, AD-1683 or apply an
anti-static spray.
□ This balance uses a strong magnet as part of the balance Magnetic
material
assembly, so please use caution when weighing magnetic
materials such as iron. If there is a problem, use the underhook
14
on the bottom of the balance to suspend the material away from
the influence of the magnet.
Convection
□ Cancel the temperature difference between a sample and the
environment. When a sample is warmer (cooler) than the 40 C
20 C
ambient temperature, the sample will be lighter (heavier) than
the true weight. This error is due to a rising (falling) draft around
the sample.
□ Make each weighing gently and quickly to avoid errors due to
changes in the environmental conditions.
□ When placing a sample on a weighing pan, do not give a strong
shock or do not exceed the weighing capacity. And place in the
center.
□ Do not drop things upon the weighing pan, or place a sample on
the pan that is beyond the balance weighing capacity. Place a
sample in the center of the weighing pan.
□ Do not use a sharp instrument such as a pencil to press the keys.
Use your finger only.
□ Press the RE-ZERO key before each weighing to prevent
possible errors.
□ Take into consideration the affect of air buoyancy on a sample
when more accuracy is required.
□ Keep the balance interior free of dust and foreign materials.

2-4 After Use


□ Avoid mechanical shock to the balance.
□ Do not disassemble the balance. Contact the local A&D dealer if the balance needs service or
repair.
□ Do not use organic solvents to clean the balance. Clean the balance with a lint free cloth that is
moistened with warm water and a mild detergent.
□ Avoid dust and water so that the balance weighs correctly. Protect the internal parts from liquid
spills and excessive dust.

2-5 Power Supply


□ When the AC adapter is connected, the balance is in the standby mode if the standby indicator is
on. This is a normal state and does not harm the balance. For accurate weighing, keep the AC
adapter connected to the balance and AC power unless the balance is not to be used for a long
period of time. Please warm up the balance for at least 30 minutes (one hour for 0.0001g models).

4-3 Counting Mode(PCS)
This is the mode to determine the number of objects in a sample based on the standard sample unit
mass. Unit mass means the mass of one sample. The smaller the variables in each sample unit mass
is, the more accurate the counting will be. This series balance is equipped with the Automatic
Counting Accuracy Improvement (ACAI) function to improve the counting accuracy.
Note
* For counting, use samples that have a unit mass at least ten times greater than that of the
readability in grams.
* If the sample unit mass variable is too large, it may cause a counting error.
* To improve the counting performance, use the ACAI function frequently or divide the samples into
several groups and count each group.

5. Impact Detection Function


The GX-AE/GX-A/GF-A series has a function to detect impact to the mass sensor section and to
display the impact level.

By lowering the impact level at the time of loading, it is possible not only to alleviate variation in the
weighing value but also to reduce the risk of failure of the mass sensor section.

Especially when incorporating the balance in a production line, etc. and weighing by means such as
an automated system, impact to the sensor may be applied greater than expected.
When designing automatic systems and the like, it is recommended that you minimize the impact
level as much as possible while checking the shock indicator.

Impact level display is from level 0 to level 4, 5 level.

With balance software version 1.300 or later, you can turn off the impact detection function by setting
/ of the function settings to 0.
Even if the impact detection function is turned off, it records in the balance when there is a shock.

Note
□ Impact on the weighing sensor may be applied to the weighing pan at time of loading, or it may be
applied from the table on which the balance is installed.
The impact detection function also works for impact applied from the table.
28
5-1 Recording Impact History
Impacts of impact level 3 or higher are stored on the balance with data and time included (maximum
50 data instances).
When the password lock function is on ( or 2 ), the login user information is added when
outputting the impact history. (Balance software version 1.211 or later.)

Note
□ If 50 data instances is exceeded, the data with the lowest impact level is overwritten.
□ The stored impact history cannot be deleted.
□ Impact data where the balance is not energized (during transport, etc.) is not stored.

5-2 Output Impact History


The stored impact history can be output by sending a specified command to the balance or performing
a key operation.

7. Calibration
Since the balance's resolution is high, weighing values may change due to gravity and daily
environmental changes. It is necessary to perform calibration (sensitivity adjustment) with the weight in
order to keep the weighing values from changing even if gravity or the environment changes.

It is recommended that you calibrate if the balance is installed for the first time or relocated, or when the
weighing values change significantly in daily inspection, etc.

Adjustment means to adjust the weighing value of the balance using the reference weight or internal
mass. Calibration is to weigh with the reference weight and compare how much the result deviates from
the reference value. (Adjustment is not performed in calibration.)

Calibration (Sensitivity adjustment)


Auto calibration ········································· Automatically adjust the balance using the internal
mass depending on the temperature change of the
operating environment or the set time and interval
time.(GX-AE / GX-A series)
Calibration using the internal mass················ Using the internal mass, adjust the balance with a
single touch.(GX-AE / GX-A series)
Calibration using an external weight ·············· Using an external mass, adjust the balance with an
external mass.

Calibration test(Sensitivity calibration)


Calibration test with an external weight············Output the result of checking the accuracy of
weighing using your own weight.
* No adjustment is made.
Calibration test with an internal mass ············· Output the result of checking the accuracy of
weighing using the internal mass.
* No adjustment is made.
(GX-AE / GX-A series with 0.0001g type)
Caution
□ Do not allow vibration or drafts to affect the balance during calibration.
□ To output the data for GLP/GMP using the RS-232C interface, set "GLP/GMP output (inFo)" of
"Data output (dout)". Refer to "9. Function Table". The time and date can be added to the
GLP/GMP report. If the time or date is not correct, adjust them. Refer to "9-7 Clock and Calendar
Function".
□ By setting "Data memory (dAtA)" of the function table, the data of calibration (sensitivity adjustment
execution record) and calibration test (sensitivity calibration) can be stored in memory.

Caution when using your external weight


□ The accuracy of the weight used in calibration affects the accuracy of the balance after calibration.

Caution
If something is on the weighing pan, the balance judges that it is in use and does not perform automatic
self calibration.
The criteria that the balance judges in use are as follows.

0.0001g models 0.001g models 0.01g models 0.1g models


Lower than 0.5g Lower than 2g Lower than 20g Lower than 20g
To maintain the accurate calibrated state, keep the weighing pan clear while not in use.

This mark blinking ( ) indicates that the automatic self calibration will
start. If the balance is not in use, after blinking for a while, the balance will
start automatic self calibration using the internal mass. The blinking duration
depends on the environment.

This indicates that the balance is importing calibration data. Do not allow
vibration or drafts to affect the balance while this indicator is displayed. After
calibration, the balance returns to indicate the previous display.
Note The balance can be used while the indicator blinks. But, it is recommended that to
maintain the accuracy, stop using the balance and confirm that there is nothing on the pan
and allow the balance to perform self calibration.
Depending on the setting of "8. Function Switch And Initialization", "Change prohibited" or
"Changeable (usable)" can be selected.

9-3 Description Of The Class Environment Display
Condition (Cond)
This parameter is for sensitive response to the fluctuation of a mass value. Used for
powder target mass, weighing a very light sample or when quick response weighing
is required. After setting, the balance displays FAST .

This parameter is for stable weighing with slow response. Used to prevent a mass value
from drifting due to vibration or drafts. After setting, the balance displays SLOW .

Stability band width (5t-b)


This item controls the width to regard a mass value as a stable value. When the fluctuation per
second is less than the parameter, the balance displays the stabilization indicator and outputs or
stores the data by function setting ( dout, dAtA, etc.)The parameter influences the "Auto print mode".
Also, the readability being displayed is 1 digit.
Ex. If 0.01 g display is selected by pressing the SAMPLE key on the GX-303A, 0.01 g is 1 digit.
This parameter is used for sensitive response of the stabilization indicator. Used for
exact weighing.

This parameter ignores slight fluctuations of a mass value. Used to prevent a mass
value from drifting due to vibration or drafts
Hold function (HoLd) (Animal weighing mode)
This function is used to weigh a moving object such as an animal. When the weighing data is over the
weighing range from zero and the display fluctuation is within the stabilization range for a fixed period of
averaging time, the processing indicator illuminates and the balance displays the average weight of the
animal. When the animal or sample is removed from the weighing pan, the display returns to zero
automatically. This function is available only when the hold function parameter is set to " 1 " (the animal
mode indicator HOLD illuminates) and any weighing unit other than the counting mode is selected.
The stabilization range and averaging time are set in "Condition (Cond)" and "Stability band width
(5t-b)".
Weighing range Averaging time Stabilization range
0.0001g model 0.0200g or more Cond0 2 sec.(Efficiency priority) 5t-b 0 Lesser 6.25%

0.001g model 0.200g or more Cond 1 4 sec. 5t-b 1 12.5%

0.1g model 20.0g or more

* Animal container kit (GXA-12) can be installed except GX-203A, GX-124A, GX-224A, GX-124AE,
GX-224AE, GF-203A, GF-124A, GF-224A.

Zero tracking (trc)


This function tracks zero point drift caused by changes in the environment and stabilizes the zero
point. When the weighing data is only a few digits, turn the function off for accurate weighing.
trc 0 The tracking function is not used. Used for weighing a very light sample.
trc 1 The normal tracking function is used.(±1 digit / 1 second)
trc 2 The strong tracking function is used. (±1 digit / 0.5 second)
trc 3 The very strong tracking function is used. (±2 digit / 0.2 second)
59
Display refresh rate (5Pd)
The periodic time to refresh the display. This parameter influences "Baud rate", "Data output pause" and
the data output rate of "Stream mode".

Decimal point (Pnt)


The decimal point format can be selected.

Auto display-ON (P-on)


When the AC adapter is plugged in, the display is automatically turned on without the ON:OFF
key operation, to display the weighing mode. Used when the balance is built into an automated
system. Half an hour warm up (more than one hour for 0.0001g models) is necessary for accurate
weighing.
Auto power-OFF (P-oFF)
This is a function to turn off only the display automatically when there is no operation made for a
certain amount of time (approximately 10 minutes) while the power is on.
Readability (rnG)
When weighing with rough precision, the readability can be turned off without key operation.
This is useful when built into an automated system.
Buzzer (bEEP)
Select ON/OFF for the built-in buzzer that sounds when a key is operated or the status changes.
Tare value record (P-ZEro)
After turning on the power supply, the display will not be automatically set to zero, and it will start
from the previous weighing value. This is useful when a hopper, etc. is attached to the weighing
pan and the power needs to be turned off while weighing discharge.
Backlight brightness (di5P-LEd)
Select the brightness of the backlight of the LCD display.

Bubble sprit level lightning (LV-LEd)


Select ON/OFF for the LED that illuminates the bubble sprit level.

Impact shock detection ( I 5d)


Select ON / OFF for the function to display impact level.
* Applicable from balance software version 1.300 or later.
Even if the function to display impact level is turned off, it is recorded inside the balance when
there is an impact.

15. Minimum Weighing Warning Function
The minimum weighing value is the minimum necessary amount of sample to be used for correctly
performing quantitatively performing quantitative analysis, taking into consideration measurement error
of the balance.
If the amount of sample is too small, the proportion of the measurement error in the measured value
increases accordingly, and the reliability of the analysis result may drop.
By using the minimum weighing warning function, it is possible to judge at a glance whether the amount
of sample meets the set minimum weight value. This function can be used only in "g" mode.
" M I N " is displayed at the top of the unit part when in use when the amount of sample is less than the
set minimum weighing value, the " M I N " indication flashes.
When the amount of sample reaches the minimum weighing value or more, the " M I N " indicator will
turn off.
The minimum weighing value can be changed from the function setting. The factory setting is 0 g.
If the set value is 0 g, no warning will be displayed even if the minimum weighing warning function is
ON (MW-CP 1 or 2). Also, a value greater than weighing capacity cannot be set as minimum weighing
value.
There are two kinds of warning display as follows
1
"Excluding near zero" MW-CP Ex0

2
"Including near zero" MW-CP IN0

Near zero is within ± 10 digits of 0 g.

20.Repeatability Check Function (GX-AE/GX-A Series Only)
Repeatability is an indicator of variations in measured values when the same weight is repeatedly
loaded and unloaded, and it is usually expressed in terms of standard deviation (σn-1).
The GX-AE/GX-A series have a built-in weight.

With the repeatability check function, the balance obtains 10 measurement data using the built-in
weight and displays its standard deviation.
By installing the balance and using this function, it is possible to check repeatability in the environment
where the balance is installed.
This function is available from balance software version 1.211 or later.

Ex. "Standard deviation = 10.0 mg" means that the result of repeated measurements of the same
weighing material falls within the range ±10.0 mg at a frequency of about 68%.

23.Troubleshooting
23-1 Checking The Balance Performance And Environment
The balance is a precision instrument. When the operating environment or the operating method is
inadequate, correct weighing can not be performed. Place a sample on the pan and remove it, and repeat
this several times. If the balance seems to have a problem with repeatability or to perform improperly, check
as described below. If improper performance persists after checking, contact the local A&D dealer for
repair.
"Frequently asked questions" and their answers are also posted on our website
<https://www.aandd.jp>.

1. Checking that the balance performs properly


□ Please check the operation of the balance by the self diagnosis function.
Refer to "6-2 Self Check Function / Automatic Setting Of Minimum Weighing Value By ECL".
Fatal faults are indicated by messages.
□ Check the balance performance using an external weight. Be sure to place the weight in the center of the
weighing pan.
□ Check the balance repeatability, linearity and calibrated value using external weights with a known
value.

2. Checking that the operating environment or weighing method is proper

Operating environment
□ Is the weighing table solid enough? (Especially 0.0001g and 0.001g model)
□ Is the balance level? Refer to "2-2 Precaution" How to adjust the bubble spirit level.
□ Is the operating environment free from vibration and drafts?
□ Is there a strong electrical or magnetic noise source such as a motor near the balance?
126
Weighing method
□ Does the weighing pan rim touch anything? Is the weighing pan assembly installed correctly?
□ Is the RE-ZERO key pressed before placing a sample on the weighing pan?
□ Is the sample placed in the center of the weighing pan?
□ Has the balance been calibrated using the internal mass (one-touch calibration)? (Only for
GX-AE/GX-A series)
□ Has the balance been warmed up for one hour before weighing?
Sample and container
□ Has the sample absorbed or lost moisture due to the ambient conditions such as temperature and
humidity?
□ Has the temperature of the container been allowed to equalize to the ambient temperature? Refer
to "2-3 During Use".
Is the sample charged with static electricity? Refer to "2-3 During Use".
(This occurs especially with 0.0001g and 0.001g models when the relative humidity is low.)
□ Is the sample of magnetic material such as iron? There are cautions about weighing magnetic
materials. Refer to "2-3 During Use".
